2021–2023 Dodge Durango Recall: Rear Spoiler May Detach

Dodge is recalling 74,578 Durango SUVs from model years 2021–2023 because the rear spoiler may contact the roof during liftgate use and become damaged. A damaged spoiler could detach and create a road hazard. Campaign 26V528000 includes vehicles previously recalled under 21V842 or 23V115, and earlier repairs do not remove the need for this new repair.

What the recall means for owners

DODGE: DURANGO

The remedy is now defined: dealers will inspect and repair or replace the spoiler and adjust liftgate alignment as necessary, free of charge. The September 1 amended report describes this repair, replacing the earlier under-development status. The current API still lists letters as expected beginning September 10, 2026; it does not confirm completion of that mailing.

What owners should do next

Contact a Dodge dealer about campaign 61D even if an earlier spoiler recall was repaired. Ask the dealer to check the current campaign status and arrange the new spoiler and liftgate-alignment remedy for your VIN.

RecallWire’s Durango analysis explains why vehicles repaired under an earlier campaign still require renewed attention.

Use the official NHTSA recall lookup or contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer to confirm recall status for your vehicle’s VIN. A matching model and year alone do not establish that a vehicle is included or that its repair is complete.
